Ski Tours of the Dolomites

By Linda Tancs

Alpine fever is at a peak in the Dolomites, where travelers enjoy some of the best on-piste ski touring in the world.  Not just a summer haven for hikers and climbers, the peaks afford some 16 skiing tours through 12 different ski resorts with runs enough for every experience range.  With variety like that, why not take the family on a ski safari?  You’ll explore the Dolomites entirely on skis, moving from hut to hut each night.  Of course, there’s also snowshoeing and backcountry skiing for those wanting a more relaxed vibe.   The Dolomites cover 90,000 acres of the Italian Alps.  Go ahead, pick your piste.
